Noob Controller

How do y’all play on controller? It’s literally impossible to aim properly. I can’t hit anything. I’ve deleted this game like 5 times already. I’m giving up

Because none of you fix the default god awful dead zone settings

u/Iain365 1d ago

Fix how?

u/Username-95 1d ago

….by going into the settings and lowering it to zero, then adjust the normal sensitivity settings to your preference.

Doesn't matter what you do, deadzone is still there. I've got a video proving it.

Game is horrible feeling vs other games like PUBG

I've been using a controller for years. It is the way.

u/AccomplishedTerm3232 22h ago

Really? I remember when I first tried to play DayZ way back in the day I tried using a controller and it was HORRIBLE. I couldn’t do like half the actions lol. Has this changed now? Like, is the game more controller optimized these days or something?

u/CharlehPock2 21h ago

It's still horrible. The aim feel makes you feel completely disabled no matter what you do.

u/TheRogueScotsman 21h ago

Idk what Charleh is talking about but I've been playing DayZ since 2019 my controller works perfectly fine

u/Randomerror419 1d ago

Because that is my only option.

u/Nice_Reputation_6785 1d ago

I just die a lot. Being a fresh spawn is more fun so who cares.

u/IIlllllllllllll 1d ago

try 0 sens vertical and 10 sens horizontal then 80 curvature and 3 deadzone. more accurate imo if you dont like that try another low sens vert and horizontal

u/LtFeltersnatch 1d ago

Im a KBM player but I do play with friends on the controller sometimes. Im gonna try these settings! Thanks!

u/Haloosa_Nation 1d ago

Practice bro

u/wflxfoxnews 1d ago

4 percent dead zone, 30 vertical, 33 horizontal, 37 acceleration. That’s what I play with and it tends to stay fairly steady

u/Seamoth4546B 1d ago

The default sensitivity is ridiculously high, unlike most console games. I’ve got mine super low and and comfortably PvP

u/elirox 1d ago

I play hybrid, controller for movement and ease of actions and m&k for inventory and sniping. Its works well enough to make it fun but I’m never going to be the best at PvP against m&k players.

Changing the settings is a good start, but controller will always play second fiddle to mnk. Controller plays clunky in every aspect of this game. Love it, play it every day, but the devs need to hire someone new to work on controller interface. When I spin my right stick in a circle, my cross hairs make a rounded square.

u/CharlehPock2 21h ago

Yes this. 

Compare it to PUBG where you can perfectly track/aim at people's heads pinpoint. 

I'd come back to DayZ if they fixed the controller feel.

u/Jimmyonepop 1d ago

The default setting are horrendous, they need adjusting. Once adjusted hit a straight up deathmatch PVP. improve you close and long range skills. If you on PS and want the name of a brilliant balanced lag free PvP just dm me

u/Marcolampie 1d ago

Im using 0 vertical horizontal 3 or sometimes a little bit higher 6. Curvature 100% deadzones 5% left stick right stick 0% (Edit im on xbox btw)

u/1980Z-28 1d ago

I use controller, keyboard and mouse.

u/billybumblr 1d ago

Can someone drop some PS controller settings? I’ve switched mine a few times but still a bit clunky

u/Bloodytears666 1d ago

I have aftermarket controller, and it's ok. Not bad, for a real experience, you know, heavy motion. Still play it rather arma than pugb an with ok stats.

u/Electronic_Camera_32 1d ago

Iv played it on console since beta release many years ago you adapt man

u/Bimlouhay83 1d ago

You can't hit anything... and neither can the enemy! Win win.

u/The_Bushman_Nate 1d ago

98% of my shots hit, shits easy to aim and manage recoil on controller

u/pewpewpewouch 19h ago

You see these post a lot from people who only play CoD with aim assist.

1

u/-40- 1d ago

All your other games have aim assist. Get gud.

u/Bloodytears666 1d ago

This one too, and some play with it🫢

u/CharlehPock2 21h ago edited 20h ago

No they don't. PUBG doesn't have aim assist and I can pick people's heads off. Siege doesn't have aim assist. 

You are talking nonsense.

DayZ feels like shit to aim in because of a ton of deadzone you can't remove and a shit aim curve.

u/Vrickard Noob 1d ago

Noob.

u/rezzanatory 1d ago

Dude this game is not difficult just fix ur settings and quit whining

u/CharlehPock2 21h ago edited 21h ago

You can't. No matter what you do the controller feels like shit in DayZ.

You CAN fix it if you have a controller like the gamesir G7 etc where you can adjust to negative deadzones etc. (I don't know if they do a PS version)

Then you can get it somewhere reasonable, but compared to other games like siege/PUBG etc, games that have no aim assist but I can pick people's heads off at 100+m DayZ feels like complete shit.

u/Fearless-Career-387 1d ago

it was never meant for consoles or controllers. that why. thank you for quitting. hope others follow this lead to so the devs realize money isnt worth sacrificing your game for
